Starting a server for the first time


Question

Posted

Well.... long story short I'm stuck home for some months due to some life issues. Being an "old timer" and coming back to L2, I got the crazy idea of making my own server.
I honestly never worked on such a project before, but reading some guides I somehow understand the concept. Could anyone briefly explain to me what I'll need to do besides making my server? Like protection, hosts, geodata and so on. Also I was wondering something, I've noticed that on most hi5 servers they use a interface (don't know if that's the correct term) which has a more modern look than the clean hi5. How can I achieve that? I understand money must be spent for most of these. Bear with me guys cause I might have some questions that might sound so hilarious to you all. Thank you in advance!

First of all forget about protection, interfaces and all other custom stuff. Learn how to operate a server by setting up your favourite standard format: low / mid / high / fun. Everything else would be a waste of time and money.

 

If you find yourself comfortable with your server, start adding custom stuff. Think about the goal you want to achieve with your project and do it step by step. Don't waste money for stuff you don't need. 😉

That's for sure! I won't be spending money on something before I complete my "baby steps". I have a plan and am working on it. Just speculating. My main concern is, will my work be "wasted" if I one day I decide to update the interface of my server? (Before launch)

You should launch your server with just the standard version. A few people are enough to gather first experience in that field. 😉

go for Mobius if you are going to subscribe cause the support is really good and he puts loads of work in the project.

If you arent going to pay then try the free version  to learn how to operate the server but dont start a server on free files cause the support will be terrible no matter where you ask.

 

i tried both sunrise and Mobius and by far Mobius seemed superior (FOR ME!)

Thank you for the replies everyone. Can anyone recommend me a good starting pack for a Hi5 PVP server? Paid or not, doesn't matter, I want to look into my options. Thanks!

What are the differences that makes Mobius better? I'm still looking into both of them.

 

Mobius Project

 

Mobius is a friendly and active person / developer. His project is user friendly and it provides you with everything you need to start a new server. You even can use his free sources for a server project. You will need help at some point, but till then you have everything you need. His pack has a ton of custom features - a huge plus! 🙂

    • I’ve been using SMS.To for a while now and it’s been solid. No issues with delays so far, and the text messaging works right away for verification. Way easier than dealing with local SIM cards for every site.

When I put them on my inventory, the +4+5 etc. that I have done do not appear. The project is h5 with the salvation protocol. Can any expert help me fix it?
